26-05-2016Friend Shops of Correos: your shopping along the Camino
The Way of Saint James, while very long, is full of culture, history, tradition and gastronomy... it is not uncommon for many pilgrims to want to take home a small part of this tremendous wealth. But your backpack is not Mary Poppins' magical bag and it would be impossible to enjoy the Camino carrying a heap of bags.
To meet this need, we have created a network of Friend Shops, where you can buy and send your purchases with the same guarantees you'd get from one of our Post Offices.
